package com.example.androidradiogroup;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.RadioGroup;
import android.widget.RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 RadioGroup radioGroup;
 TextView textCheckedID, textCheckedIndex;
 
 final String KEY_SAVED_RADIO_BUTTON_INDEX = "SAVED_RADIO_BUTTON_INDEX";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        radioGroup = (RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.radiogroup);
        radioGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener(radioGroupOnCheckedChangeListener);
        
        textCheckedID = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.checkedid);
        textCheckedIndex = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.checkedindex);
        
        LoadPreferences();
    }
    
    OnCheckedChangeListener radioGroupOnCheckedChangeListener =
      new OnCheckedChangeListener(){

    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {

     RadioButton checkedRadioButton = (RadioButton)radioGroup.findViewById(checkedId);
     int checkedIndex = radioGroup.indexOfChild(checkedRadioButton);
     
     textCheckedID.setText("checkedID = " + checkedId);
     textCheckedIndex.setText("checkedIndex = " + checkedIndex);
     SavePreferences(KEY_SAVED_RADIO_BUTTON_INDEX, checkedIndex);
    }};

 private void SavePreferences(String key, int value){
  SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MY_SHARED_PREF", MODE_PRIVATE);
  SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
  editor.putInt(key, value);
  editor.commit(); 
 }
 
 private void LoadPreferences(){
  SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MY_SHARED_PREF", MODE_PRIVATE);
  int savedRadioIndex = sharedPreferences.getInt(KEY_SAVED_RADIO_BUTTON_INDEX, 0);
  RadioButton savedCheckedRadioButton = (RadioButton)radioGroup.getChildAt(savedRadioIndex);
  savedCheckedRadioButton.setChecked(true);
 }
}
